Why is window tinting regulated?

Dark-tinted front windows make it difficult for law enforcement to
identify hit-and-run drivers, or to establish eye contact with suspects
during traffic stops. They make it more dangerous for police, and easier
for suspects to conceal weapons behind the tinted windows. Police in
some areas of the country carry portable "tintmeters” to check windows
that might be darker than the law allows.
